I was pretty annoyed by Bennifer and Bennifer part 2. I was slightly enamored by Jessnicka, but by the time Brangelina, Paris squared and TomKat stormed the media, I was too through.
I haven't been watching TV for weeks, and I barely listen to the radio either...
...which explains how I missed the Hot 97 "breaking news" story that a tape had surfaced which shows rapper/actress Eve involved in sexual acts. A friend of mine bombarded me with this news once I signed on to AIM yesterday. He hastily sent me the clip, remarking "can you believe this?! Eve is out there! What do you think?"
I checked out the clip. Sure enough, there was Eve, chocha spread for all the world to see, getting "done" by a toy that her then- boyfriend, producer Stevie J was holding. The date stamp on the clip read 1999.
I yawned. "Why is this news?" I asked him. "Because it's EVE, yo. That's embarassing!" I still couldn't see the big deal. It's not like she was doing anything deviant or illegal; it wasn't even a one-night stand, to make it a little interesting. She has openly admitted having a relationship with Stevie J....a relationship that left her emotionally bankrupt for a while, according to her accounts...yet here is the media and gossip-hungry public getting all bent out of shape because *gasp* Eve had sex.
All over the world, people are getting it on. Some of them are videotaping themselves. You rarely hear about it. Eve does it, and then it's news. We are a celeb-obsessed society and we need to get over it.I can just imagine tomorrow's headline:
"Usher wiped his ass"
*sigh*

Too Much For TV
Dee's two cents:
you should hang out with more tv boycotters, like me. I didn't hear about that until you wrote about it. The last news I heard was that Bloomberg is going to Singapore and that library budgets got a little oomph at the last reading. Yes boring, but it's real news.
